Destructive family separation is happening in our communities across our nation. Under President Trump, ICE agents are moving aggressively against community leaders, our colleagues, our family members, our sports teammates, with many children left stranded without one and sometimes both of their parents.

Family separation is cruel and inhumane. Full stop. People are being dragged away from their loved ones.

Yet, Donald Trump has indicated that worse could be yet to come. For mothers, there’s only one nightmare that tops being separated from our children, and that’s being terrified that they and other loved ones could be treated like animals to be hunted down and worse.

Donald Trump just said that undocumented immigrants “aren't people,” that they are “animals." Congress must finally halt our country’s slide down Trump’s destructive path, starting with putting a stop to unconscionable immigration policies like purposefully separating young children from their parents.
